Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, Emily M. Danforth’s The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic Annie on My Mind.

Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the truth she eventually comes to - that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she’s eventually outed, her aunt sends her to God’s Promise, a religious conversion camp that is supposed to “cure” her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes face to face with the cost of denying her true identity.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named to numerous “best” lists.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This novel's language and story is brought to life by this narrator. I throughly enjoy the performance and story. Lesbian novels that are well written are hard to come by, i look forward to more of this genre from audible in the future.

Danforth has a handle on language that brings richness to her stories. Beautiful story that doesn't only linger on the negative parts of growing up gay, but addresses life as it is: hard, wonderful, confusing, exhilarating. LGBT story worth a read/listen, and maybe even two.

Beautiful Coming-of-age story

Enjoyed it immensely. Descriptive, occasionally a little too much. coming of age book even if you are looking back.

Captivating

This is such a good book. You will be moved by this sweet and honest love story of a high-schooler who is lesbian. It is remarkable in its portrayal of the ways our society imposes itself on a young girl, especially if she likes girls as in this story. So many parts were so heart-breaking. Emily also does a beautiful job of not simplifying people as all good or all bad, but maybe how we all are a bit of a hypocrite. Unfortunately, the hypocrisy for some serves as a boots on the necks of queer girls in high school. We need more books like this so LGBTQ identified youth can see themselves and their particular struggles through what they read, and to help everyone understand a little more, to help us tear down the "single-stories" we hold and from which, we hurt. Recommended reading for all!

Great book

The story was good. Wish I had not done the Audible version. When a book is recorded, is there no one in the room to make sure words are being pronounced correctly? Good Lord, this was FULL of mispronunciations and the way this narrator decided to say “ubiquitous” will haunt my nightmares.
